Circuit COurt.-In the case of Sat
terlee 81 Co. vs.. the County Of Jefferson
the jury i'm the Circuit Court last week
brought in verdict in favor of the
county. In 1870, according to the DEM
ocrafs report of the case, $3.50, 900 of
county bonds were, by the Board of Su-
pervisors, entrusted to a committee COM
posed of Messrs. Osbourne, Billmyer
and Eichelberger to be, by them, "deliv-
cred to the Shenandoah Valley Railroad
i'm such amounts, as in their judgement,
will be at time of said delivery, a fair
compensation to said Company, for the
work and labor then performed and the
material then furnished and used in and
about the construction of the road, on
that part of the road located in Jefter-
son." In December 1872 the Supervi-
sors passed an order directing the Com
mittee to allow land damages and engi-
neering expenses. Messrs. Green and
Lucas, then counsel for the county filed
a protest to this order. They commended
that Gland damages" could not be treat
ed as "work and labor performed" or as
"material furnished" Il few days after
wards the Board revoked its order. All
the bonds were delivered except IS, 100.
The company having assigned its claim
70 these bonds to Satterlee & Co., they
brought suit against the county. The
i1ry found that the Shenandoah Valley
had expended but $2l7 $50 in the county
prior to the completion of the road, and
herce refused to allow the balance of
the roads. Travers and Mccormick for

Fire at sharPsburg-SheP.
N N ri - oxu,, IN tho II asnrra An py-

herOSuOtfn 10 the uAcsCuc. All GA
cited messenger from our neighboring
town of Sharpsburg awoke the Shepherd
Fire Department of this place about
three o'clock Wednesday morning with
the news that his town was on fire and
asked for help to subdue the conflagra-
ton. The firemen were quickly assem-
bled, and in as short time as possible
started with their Silsby steamer and
hose reel. 1t took some time to haul the
apparatus to Sharpsburg, and by the
time the firemen arrived the fire was
under control. The steamer was put to
work, however, and the burning ruins
were flooded so as to eXtinguish the emit
bers. The burned building was large
brick house owned by the Masonic Lodge
of Sharpsburg, the lodge occupying the
upper story. Mr.. E. Lee Grayson used
the lower story as a hardware, tinware,
and grocery store. The fire was discov-
cred about two o'clock, and at that time
the whole building was ablaze, and it
was utterly impossible to save it or its
contents. The town has no fire appara-
tus, and the citizens had TO rely on buck
cts to prevent it from spreading. They
worked with a will, and succeeded in
saving the adjoining buildings, which
were on fire several times. While
putting out blaze on roof of a small
building Postmaster Henry johnson was
severely burned about the arms. No
one knows how the fire started, but
many citizens attributed it to an incen-
diary.
The losses and insurance are rs follows:
The Masonic Lodge, loss $1,000, insur :
ance 81 1000; E. Lee Grayson, loss 81 ,OOO'
insurance 1900; Mr.. Smith, shoemak-
er, in adjoining building, loss princi-
pally from water and breakage, insured
Red Mems Hall, root burned, insured.
The Sharpsburg people did all in their
power for the assistance and comfort o.
our firemen. DR.. Chas F. Russell look
ed after them generally, and Assistant
Burgess Josephus Renner provided a
good breakfast at his hotel. We are
sorry our boys did not get there in time
to save the building, but they acquitted
themselves in good style. The engine
never worked better, and threw water
in a way that astonished the natives.

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and unrefreshing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy,
crave food, the nervous system, when vigo-
rous and tranquil, gives its possessor no I'M
easlness at night. A tonic, to be effective,
nerves to be strengthened and soothed by the
unaided action OF a sedative or a narcotic.
What is required is medicine which invigo-
rates the stomach, and promotes assimilation
of food by the system, by which means the
nervous system, as well as other parts OF the
physical organism, are strengthened. These
are the effects OF Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
a medicine whose reputation is foundedfirm-
ly in public confidence, and which physicians
commend for its tonic, anti-billious and other
properties. 1t is used with the best results
In fever and ague, rheumatism, kidney and
uterine weakness, and other maladies.

MorphlomanIa in France.

In the course of the last few years the
disease which the doctors call morphio-
mania has made formidable Roadway all
over France. In the capital its victims
almost rival those of alcoholism. AT
Bellevue great hospital has been opened
for the care, and, if possible, for the cure
of these patients. Here at least all the
symptoms of the disease may be studied,
and curious statistics of its course and of
the character of its victims have been col
lected The disease in its present form
is necessarily but of recent origin. Nor
phia itself was only discovered in the year
1916. The cure of it is very rare. 1t is
found that both the use and deprivation
of the drug lead the victims almost in
variably to suicide, and at Bellevue there
are cushioned rooms for some of the pa
tients, and constant watch kept on all.
One is not surprised to hear that the chief
sufferers are women. After women come
doctors. One can see the reason of this.
A few years ago the injection of morphia
was almost surgical operation. Doctors
would have most opportunity and least
fears of the results. Now, unfortunately,
the instruments have been made so per-
feet that the use Of them has ceased to be
either painful or formidable.-C Chicago

countered one everywhere as the joyous

six inches long, of waxen countenance

gence Office recalled very peculiar duel
which he saw fought between two Cor
cans on his last cruise. Zone or two be-
ligerents had big double edged sword
and the other had gun, muzzlc-Ioad-
er. The gun had about an inch bore,
while the ball was little larger than pea.
and it was necessary to keep the muzzle
of the gun elevated, for if it ever had
been turned downward the ball would
have rolled out without. any firing. The
duel took place at the brow Of hill, the
two adversaries starting on level. Usual
in such case, the struggle would be for
the high ground, but in that ii was for
the low ground If the gunner had to
lower the muzzle Of his gun to fire at his
adversary the little ball would be out be-
fore he could fire, and then swordsman.
The struggle was very exciting and con-
tinued long. But the time came when the
gunner thought he had the advantage he
needed, but before he could fix and fire.

muzzle and empty out the pea Then the
gunner blazed away, but it was no use.
